Rep. Conaway, and Senators Cornyn and Hutchison--Republicans all. Last night when the servers crashed, I faxed them. After midnight, I emailed them and Speaker Boehner. I don't feel too confident that it will help, but it seemed a much more reasonable request from our President than the "go shopping" request from President GWB.

Alas, I live in deep red TX. However, the Democrats who are here are often yellow dogs. Here, we're dealing with a crippling drought, temperatures consistently well over 100 degrees, Gov. Rick Perry, and the aforementioned representatives. The wildfires have come within about 20-25 miles of us, but did not reach us. I usually try not to think about all of that at the same time. It's scary to hear the media fawning over our illustrious governor. I keep telling myself that surely America doesn't want another swaggering Texan President with all the flaws of the last + a few new ones.
